What Causes Severe Swelling In The Feet And Ankles?
My feet and ankles have been having SEVERE swelling the last few years. I ve gone through extensive testing, including checking for blood clots and the like, but no one knows what it is. I can t really even fit into shoes anymore. I have an IUD, could that be the cause of it? If not I m desperate to know what is going on.
